Knowing that she would be walking the red carpet
in early 2008 for the premiere of "The Business of
Being Born", an independent film which she also
executive produced, Ricki decided to really step up
and give the papparazzi something to snap at!

She last year embarked upon a program which con-
sisted of a low calorie diet, and more physical activity,
which was mainly going on 4 to 5 mile uphill hikes and
runs several times a week.

For her meals, she utilized a food delivery program
called Fresh Dining. Her plan was based on a lower
1200 calorie a day diet. When asked what's her secret
to eating smarter, she mentions portion control and also
that she eats more salads, and tries to avoid bread and
chocolate, which are her weaknesses.

After the dust cleared, Ricki had lost over 125 pounds
and 20 dress sizes!!  When Ricki showed up at the
Business of Being Born premiere with her svelte new
look and glowing, positive attitude, she blew everyone
else in the place away!  Keep up the good work, and
GO, Ricki!
